I love a bargain, or trying to create something out of nothing (something I picked up from my thrifty mother).
I have my chickens and my kitchen garden, both of these provide produce for my love of cooking.
Basically, if you can sew it, make, grow it or cook it you have come to the right place.
Follow me on my sewing/growing/cooking and making adventures together with some of life’s daily trials and tribulations.

Useful tutorials

Have you ever found a really great link to a site and put a bookmark somewhere, and then forgotten all about it - well I have. So I decided to add an extra page to my blog detailing all these great tips I have found on other blogs and the internet and want to share them with you all (and allow me to find when I need them) - I hope they help help you too.These blogs are not in any particular order - they are all great.Video: An Easy, Flat Fly-Front Zipper (Threads) This is a really useful tutorial that makes putting in a flat fly-front zipper so easy thanks to Sandra Betzina
